Jah Free (real name: Jeff Bertolla) is a reggae dub artist.
In the 70's he performed with Reggae bands such as Tallowah and Bushfire and toured most of the world entertaining crowds with his musical talents.
Nowadays he has his own studio and produces as a one man band under the names Jah Free and Trapper John and although his musical styles are deeply rooted in the Reggae genre he has been known to co-produce Hip Hop and Drum and Bass tracks.
He has co-produced with A-Sides, Dub Warriors, Wayne Mc Arthur, Vibronics, Sister Simiah and Zion Train to name a few.
Links to Peel[]
Peel played tracks from the artist between 1996 and 2000. However, after 2000, it seems Peel lost interest in the musician and never played any of his material from his 2003 album, 'Unity'.
